I would put the flat ones on and send the chrome ones to me!!!!!!

But seriously, the chrome ones would probably be too contrasting on the blazer.

Buddy of mine just bought himself a T/A with the wheels from the 2nd picture. Whole car was repainted a satin black, wheels too. Looks KILLER (except that it's beat up) so I'd vote the silver ones, and perhaps paint them black to match your truck.

Yea im leaning towards the grey too.


Question is what size tires do i want to run? Im wanting a low profile look,but not too low. Just enough to notice. My trucks 4x4 but 4x4 has been deleted except for the tcase. I already backed out my tbar bolts and it lowered the front 2 inches,then raised it back up until i figure out what im going to do. Im thinking about a 2" blocks in the rear and do something with the front once the rims are on and i see the stance its at.

235 60 16's sound good?

Im wanting this stance,i really dont want to buy drop keys,as i Hate to mess with the torsion system because i know little about how it all goes in. Man this is a sexy blazer

As soon as I saw your request for what size tire my immediate thought was "235-60-15" so we're on the same page there, haha. I think in that picture, the tires are a lower profile than 60 though, probably a 45 or 50.

I dont know much about dropping the truck but i think the greys would be your best choice

I do like the aluminum rim color on blazers also

Edit: chop a picture see how they look

do you plan on painting your truck? if you go light colors, throw on the chrome. if you are leaving it satin gray, paint them satin black. if you paint it satin black, then paint them satin gray

a little contrast is good

I doubt il paint it. I'm waiting on my stepdad to buy a new truck he's wanting. then i get his blazer for practically nothing. its in MINT shape. body,suspension,front end etc is immaculate. its 2wd too,easier for me to play with. Cant wait!

Chrome, black & chrome is a hard combo to beat.

i say get some tires with a lil meat on there so u can have some fun with them and not worry about wearing them out. (the V6 has a pretty good amount of power) and on the color chrome is nice but then again its got to be maintained. i would go with the silver wheels and just color match it with the body color. MURDERED will look bad ***. i painted my stock 4x4 wheels flat back they look nice and u cant really see the dirt on them. hahaaa
